I had a great day visiting schools in very rural areas. I think some of the people I met today had never seen a muzungu (foreigner) before. It was market day so there were a lot of people and they all gathered around to have a look at me. It was very funny! I'll try to write more over the weekend but for now I better conserve the battery since I don't know when the electricity will be back.
On the 3rd of September, 2010, I began my big adventure. I am in Rwanda as a VSO volunteer (www.vso.ie). I am working as an education management advisor. This blog is especially for my friends, family and all the pupils of Aston Village E.T.N.S. I hope you enjoy reading about my adventures and that you learn a little about Rwanda too!The views expressed in this blog are my own and do not reflect those of VSO.

Some practicalities!
I have just arrived home from a day visiting schools to no electricity. I'm really glad now that I practised lighting the lamp during the week Here is a picture of the kerosene light we use when there are power cuts. Electricity came about 2 months ago to Ngororero so before that this is what my housemate used every evening. It gets dark here at about 6 o'clock so people tend to go to bed early and then rise early. I usually get up at about 6 and go to bed at about 9.
